Summary: When Harry's life on Earth ended, he expected to meet up with friends and family in the afterlife. What he didn't expect was this. "Guess Dumbledore was right about the next-great-adventure."

Warnings: Spoilers, Short Chapters, OC's, Deviation from canon (FANFICTION), Etc…

"Harry wakeup dear, you've been asleep since yesterday, you need to get up." Harry's mother said, waking him up from dreamland.

Harry groggily got up, and looked around. Yep, everything was the same as he left it. The clock was set, the computer on his desk was off, and the shiny new package was sit- SHINY NEW PACKAGE!

Harry turned his head towards the doorway, where his mother was, and stared.

"It's a gift from your father. He said something about how it's time you started your –oof" Harry's mother began, only to have her son crash into her.

"Thank you Mom, I know Dad had to convince you but, thank you." Harry said, happy that he would be able to start his journey.

You're welcome, however I think it's time you opened your package." His mother said, prying her son off her, and gently pushing him towards the package.

Harry stared at the package for all of ten seconds, before ripping the package open in a frenzy of movement, all the while shouting "BANZAI" to the wind.

Inside the package was a few pairs of dark green shirt jackets, dark blue jeans, black running shoes, black undershirts, a black bag, and dark green googles. However Harry wasn't staring at the new clothes. No, Harry was staring at the small, black and green ball on top of the clothing.

Holding it up, Harry turned towards his mother. "Is this what I think it is?"

A nod was all he got in return. Grinning, Harry ran into the bathroom to try on his new clothes.

Coming out of the bathroom, Harry definitely looked the part of a Trainer.

His mother was smiling, "Oh, you look just like your father did on his first day, hold on let me get a camera."

"MOM, it's just a new outfit. Shesh" Harry said, embarrassed.

"Nonsense, it will only take a minute." His mother insisted, "Now where did I put that camera?"

Harry had a sweatdrop going down his head, "Well, I'll just go introduce myself to the neighbors."

"You go ahead and do that honey. Where is that blasted camera?" His mother continued, in her efforts to find her camera.

Harry walked out the front door. Looking around, he was surprised by how small the town was. Other than his house, there were about three other buildings, two of them houses, with the last one looking like a Pokémon Research Lab.

Shrugging his shoulders, Harry headed towards the closest house. Knocking on the door, he heard a shout of, "COMING" before the door was opened, and a girl about his age appeared.

"Can I help you?" She asked. The girl was wearing a blue shirt, a blue skirt, blue shoes, and a blue bandana around her head. She had brown hair with two bangs framing her face.

"Ah, yeah. My name's Harry Dark an-" Harry said, only to be interrupted midsentence.

"Oh, you're the new neighbor that moved in. When we heard you were moving in, Brendan and I were excited." The girl interrupted.

"MAY, whose at the door? I thought we were wait-" A new voice said. Appearing from behind May, was a tall boy, wearing all red. His shirt, pants, gloves, and shoes were red, as well as his hat, thought it was only red on the bottom. At first glance the boy appeared to have white spikey hair, but a further look let you know that the 'hair was a part of his hat.

"Seems like he came to us, now pay up Brendan." May demanded, holding out her hand.

"Sigh, fine" Brendon said, giving May a few coins.

Harry looked on amused, "You were betting on me?"

"Ah, yeah. May said you would come to her house first, while I said you would go to my house first." Brendan explained.

"I see, lie I told May, I'm Harry Dark. You are?" Harry said, bringing his hand up to shake Brendon's hand.

"Name's Brendan Birch, and this is May Elm, my cousin." Brendan said, grasping Harry's offered hand with his own, and shaking.

"Nice to meet you-" Harry said, being interrupted by the arrival of a small girl.

"Brendan, May, I heard some strange sounds coming from Route 101, can you go look?" The girl said.

"Alright Sapphire, we'll go check it out." Brendan said, and motioning for Harry and May to follow him, began walking towards Route 101.

"Come on, I can hear screams from over here." Brendan yelled, racing along Route 101, with Harry and May lagging behind him.

"WE CAN"T ALL BE AS FAST AS YOU!" May screamed. At this, Harry had to cover his ears, and Brendan actually fell over.

"Can we wait until AFTER we find whomever, or whatever is making those screams, to scream at each other?" Harry gave a pointed look towards May, who had the decency to blush.

"Enough flirting you two, we need to find the source of the-" Brendon began, only to be interrupted by a cry of "HELP!" that sent the three running towards the direction of the voice.

'Seems I've managed to get myself into yet another predicament. Sigh, just great. If only I could reach my bag.' Were the thoughts of one Prof. Birch.

Prof. Birch was minding his own business, studying the local Pokémon, when he was attacked, by Zigzagoon, three of them! Seems that the Pokémon were agitated by the presence of Prof. Birch. Now, normally such small Pokémon wouldn't be such a problem. However, Prof. Birch had forgotten the number one rule when researching Pokémon; always carry another Pokémon on you at all times.

Prof. Birch lifted his head, taking a glance around the area. All he saw were some trees, tall grass, some kids, flowe- KIDS!

"Ah, a little help here would be nice!" Prof. Birch cried.

"DAD, what do we do?" Brendan said, speaking to the rest of his companions.

"There, in my bag, are three Pokémon. Use them to fight against these Zigzagoon." Prof. Birch said, trying to avoid being bitten by said Pokémon.

Quickly running towards the bag, Brendan tore it open. Finding three Pokéballs laying on top of a bunch of papers, Brendan quickly threw the other two towards May and Harry.

Running up to the Zigzagoon, Brendan, May and Harry prepared to battle.

"Go –"

AN: Wow, I did not expect so many favs and alerts with this story. However, here is another short chapter. This was originally supposed to be in two parts, however I don't want to reveal who got which starter till next chapter. :P Read and Review. Now to the reviews:

Alec McDowell: Thanks, hope this chapter is up to your expectations. May is featured here as Professor Elm's niece, as well as Professor Birch's niece. (Birch and Elm are brothers!), however originally I had no plans to include Max, now though…

Angelcerise: Thanks, This is what happens next, see Chapter (Harry Dark) for answers about magic.

Guest Anon: Thanks, your choice has been added to the poll (Though I don't know much about Sekirei, although I did glance at the first manga chapter online), here's the next update.

Guest: Currently there are no pairings planned, however that could change in the future. Also your choice has been added to the poll.

KyodaiDoushi: Thanks, I'll try not to disappoint.

Kakazu: Yes, I have plans for the Legendries, rest assured Harry, May, and Brendan will fight them. You'll find out Harry's Pokémon in the next chapter, at least one of them.

Well, there are the reviews, minus one reviewer, who didn't even log on to review. He said something about how this story was boring. Really, I don't mind criticism, but if you are going to point out flaws could you at least give me some advice. Honestly, if you want professional work go out to the store and by a novel. Also, I'm gonna say, if you have the balls to review negatively, but not with your username, then you're nothing but a leech on society. Like the people who won't shut up on Xbox live.

Alright my rant's done. Enjoy the story, read and review, this is Orange Wind, Bye.
